Why this recipe is gentle
Cooked slowly over low heat, the semolina turns smooth and easy on the stomach, with no spice, citrus or acid. A small amount of honey or maple syrup keeps the sweetness light, and a lactose-free or plant-based milk keeps it gentle.

Tips
- Dairy and sweetness can be personal triggers. Choose a lactose-free or plant-based milk and sweeten sparingly.
- Whisk the semolina in gradually to avoid lumps and a heavy texture.
- Serve warm or lukewarm rather than cold.
